What you are trying to create will determine "What  to do."

Hi Just18

Thank You for reply.

I remember there was create a txt file and also create an internet shortcut and maybe others. When I right click a menu appears, but a very reduced one and I can not remember how to fix it, nor can I remember how I came to this - cuz I think I must have introduced it somewhere  :'(

I assume we are talking about KDE  ;)

The "Create New" item appears when the Activity Layout is set to "Folder View".  If it is set to "Desktop" you will not get that entry.
Have you somehow changed the Layout ?  (Hint: what is the last menu entry on the Right Click menu?)

Hi TerryN

Thank You very much for reply. That was the problem. I created a new activity as You said and the menu is back  :) :D
I do not want the first activity but I do not know how to remove it  ???
Thanks a lot.

You could have just changed the Layout View of the existing activity:

Select the bottom menu option of the right click menu (Folder View | Desktop Properties)
Select View and change Layout to Folder View

Hi TerryN

Thank You very much for the information. I found out how to have only one of the activities, but now a new problem have arisen. - From the startmenu the Firefox icon have disappeared. - Obviously I have difficulty being good to the KDE plasma
desktop  :D But I can run FF in the newly right click  command run  ;)
Thanks for helping me out of the trouble.
